If it is too expensive for your taste, dont buy it.
No product can satisfy everybody.

I've got a bunch of missions made up. Can I sell this for $30 too?

You can try, as everybody else :D

On a side note, how does this work with 1C, as these people will be making money from CoD, which I assume is protected. Do they have to pay a royalty to 1C?

If there's as many missions as in the Desastersoft addon and comes with skins and printed goodies, I'd be happy to buy them

I doubt it, they are just adding missions to the game and (probably) not licensing anything from MG.

We get skins for free, or didnt you no
Printed goodies? can i fly them?:rolleyes:

I don't know whether they pay royalties or not, but some kind of business agreement concerning copyright and related rights must have been made, otherwise this Thread would have been locked very fast. ;)

I don't follow your reasoning... If I create a font and offer it for sale for use in word processors I don't need their permission. Or if I use notepad to write a program, I own the code and not the folks who made the text editor.

Generally you own the output of a program you use (otherwise the C+ compiler & IDE people would own everything... :D).

As long as they are only distributing the missions and skins and not MG code / Intellectual Property there would seem to be no obvious infringement.

What i ment was this:
if they use the FMB to create the Missions, they use the "Intellectual property" from 1c, so if there is a commercial FMB use from a third party without a permission from 1c, it would be an infringement. wouldn't it?
